Hi Kristin, <br>My friend John Guerra (from Wilkes Barre PA) mother was Mother Rita Pesavento's sister or John's aunt. He also said his grandfather dropped the -sten when they came to America. John is 89 years old (in failing health) and told me the same story. Have you learned anything else? I would love to connect you two.<br>Thanks, <br>Culeen Carey- no relation!2016-09-21 20:06:45Zculeen_careyhttp://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.pesavento/15.3.4/mb.ashxPesavento/Costa/Zocchi in Asiagohttp://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.pesavento/87/mb.ashx
My grandfather was Catterino Pesavento from Asiago, Italy. He married my grandmother Maddalena Costa and they immigrated to Clinton,Indiana in early 1900's. I would like more information about his family in Asiago as well as my grandmother's mother whose maiden name was Zocchi. I met my grandmother's wonderful family in Merano, Italy in 2000. They took us to beautiful Asiago. <br><br>Update--recently discovered my grandfather Catterino's father was Dominico. Catterino was born 1877, father may have born about 1847. Dominico wife may be Maria. Does anyone have info?<br>2015-05-29 06:16:05Ztudie323http://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.pesavento/87/mb.ashxStory about the Pesavento family's life in Italy and Americahttp://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.pesavento/90/mb.ashx
I am just picking up where I left off a while back ago on family history research and thought I would post this great story a cousin I found on Ancestry shared with me about our family. <br><br>(It's a letter written about my great-grandparents, Giovanni Donato Pesavento and his wife Giovanna Paganini, referred to as "grandmother" and "grandfather"):<br><br>Our Grandmother and Grandfather Pesavento lived in an all stone house, stone floors, an open hearth, a two story structure with a balcony on the second floor. Grandmother was very proud of their flower garden which was full of carnations.<br>Your Grandmother lived with her Mother-in-law, who ruled the roost so to speak, which was one of the reasons your grandmother was so eager and willing to make the long trip to America with her family. (Someone added: "The real reason was sons would be forced into army.." I can't make out the next sentence.)<br>Your grandfather Pesavento was a master stone-cutter and traveled much of Europe for work. He worked a lot in Denmark and Germany. He also helped build the border wall between Austria and Italy.<br>Your grandparents and all the people of Asiago, the town where your people lived, were descendants of a group from Central Europe called the (Cimbra). They were not South Italians. This Cimbra group were noted for being tall, blue-eyed blonds.<br>Your great-grandmother was a mid-wife in Asiago, there were no doctors in their town. Her name was "Giovna Paganing" (Someone crossed this out and wrote "Giovanni Paganini" - which is still wrong, as Giovanni is a boys name. I assume they mean Giovanna)<br>Your grandfather came to America to find work as it was harder and harder to find in Europe.<br>When they came to America, they lived with another family for a very short time until Grandpa found a job and a house. As he was a master stone-cutter he had no financial problems and always provided his wife and 7 children with the essentials of life, food, shelter, and clothing, but no luxuries as we all have and expect today.<br>Your grandfather Pesavento was a very proud, neat and clean man (blond, very fair skin, large blue eyes) He would never go out the door unless spotless and groomed.<br>I recall grandmother Pesavento saying when they tasted ice-cream for the first time, her friends told her to blow on it as it was hot.<br>They lived on Ball, Mt. Pa. in the warm weather to be near the stone quarry where grandpa worked and when it got too cold to cut stone they moved to Miners Mills to live. In the winter he would open a fruit and Veg. store on Northampton St., W.B. Pa.<br>Grandmother said, at Christmas they only received a stocking with apples, nuts and one orange, not at all like the American Christmas.<br>They had no problems adjusting to live in America.<br>100 years later our family home is still in Asiago with our relatives living in it, their name Valario Bosso.2015-01-12 22:23:22Zkboselli9http://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.pesavento/90/mb.ashxRe: Pesavento/ Fahringershttp://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.pesavento/26.1/mb.ashx
Hi there! I don't know if we've been in contact before, but I know that family. I didn't realize Giovanni had to work three years to pay for his wife and six other children to come over, though... wow.

Hi all! I also just realized that I have a Ferdinand Pesavento in my family tree as well. My great-great-grandfather was Giovanni (John) Donato Pesavento (born 10/8/1851) who moved to Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, with his two brothers Donato Daniele and Fortunato "Ferdinand". Unsure if they all moved to the same city, though... Giovanni was a stonemason. <br><br>Their parents back in Asiago were Giovanni and Maria Pesavento.<br><br>Here is a story about Giovanni Donato Pesavento and his wife Giovanna Paganini sent to me by a cousin (and referred to as "grandmother" and "grandfather":<br><br>Our Grandmother and Grandfather Pesavento lived in an all stone house, stone floors, an open hearth, a two story structure with a balcony on the second floor.

Hey Paul<br><br>The good news is that I'm not all that confused anymore,thank you for that. I was trying to figure out how the two families fit together thinking that they were related somehow. While the older generation in my family could be good historians they refuse to give up information - my great-grandfather killed himself which i believe the older generation is trying to cover up because, as I'm sure you know, suicide is a huge sin in the catholic religion. <br><br>The bad news is that I'm part of the second family. The Ray that you are talking to is my "cousin". That's what we always called him growing up anyway but his dad and my grandpa were brothers.

Hi Brenda,<br><br>Wonderful! I was beginning to think I'd never get any replies!<br><br>That's great! It looks like there may be a common link between our families. Domenic's daughter Toni (Antoinette) used to write to Italy also. I'm trying to track down the letters since, apparently, they were passed down to her sister Deloris' kids. Actually, today I got a reply from the officials in Asiago stating they found Domenic Steven Pesavento's records along with his wife's, Mary Forte. Hopefully, I can dig up some good info!<br><br>Now, there were a couple Pesavento families in Ironwood. They even lived about 1 block apart on East Ayer St! The other family, with no known relation to mine, was headed by Anthony (similar?), with wife Dominica Stella, and children Raymond, Bruno, and three daughters. He also had two brothers Elio and Dominic, and a sister. The mother, Angeline, lived in Italy.<br><br>Does my family sound like the best match or is the second family more familiar? <br><br>Actually, I'm in contact with a decendant of Amedeo on Facebook, Peggy (Pesavento) Burns. She's trying to dig around for info on their family for me. I'm also chatting with a decendant of Raymond (from the second family) on Facebook, also named Ray. Small world... Are you on Facebook? If so, feel free to send me an invite. I'm the one living in Hutchinson, MN.<br><br>I would love to know more about your family to see if we're really related.

Hi Everyone,<br><br>My great-grandfather was Domenic (Domenico?) Pesavento from Northern Michigan. Siblings to Domenic were: Antonio (Tony), Mary, Giovanni (John), Pietro (Peter), two brothers that may have moved to Australia, one brother in Germany, and another sister in Italy. John lived with them in Ironwood for a while, then moved to Detroit, MI. Peter lived in Ironwood, MI and died in a mining cave-in. I know little about Mary, Tony, or the others. A "cousin" (true relation unknown) was named Amedeo. Amedeo was a sherrif in Iron Mountain, MI and whose family later moved to Omaha, NE. <br><br>Domenic married Marie (Mary) Forte and moved from Asiago, Italy to Ironwood, MI in 1909.

Attached is a Pesavento family crest that I received a few years ago from a Gian Cristiano Pesavento from San Remo. He was an elderly gentleman who was originally from Asiago and served in the resistance effort during WWII and was very proud of it. I don't have at my fingertips what his family's "supernome" was. Therefore, unsure if this crest is a universal Pesavento crest or a specific clan one. We had conversed back and forth for several years and I actually met him and his wife about 15 years ago in San Remo on one of my trips to Italy.<br><br>This is my first time on this site. However, reading many of the older posts, I share the same family history as Kristin Boselli Knight and have shared info with her in the past. My family is the one that owns the monument business in Scranton, PA. My brother John now runs it as my father, also John, has retired. I live in the Washington, DC area (Vienna, VA). Our clan/supernome is "Stin/Sten". However, I believe we also have ties to "Bais/Base" and "Pasc" (sp??). We also have connections to Rigoni's as my great-grandmother was a Rigoni. <br><br>I can be reached at <a href="mailto://paul.pesavento@verizon.net">paul.pesavento@verizon.net</a> if anyone has any questions. It has been over ten years, but I have been to Asiago on at least three ocassions. I have visited both the church and "communi" bldg while there. I was able to get family records back to the late 1700's even though, as some earlier posters pointed out, many were distroyed during WWI. I also visited nearby Bosco and saw, unconfirmed, the home where my grandfather was born before leaving for the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton area when he was 5 with his parents and older sister. 2011-02-17 13:42:58Zpaulpesavento1http://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.pesavento/86.1.1/mb.ashxRe: This Might Help----http://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.pesavento/1.2.3.4.6.8.9.10.12.14.2/mb.ashx

Since I just began my research on my family I discovered that my grandfather,Guiseooe aka Joseph Pesavento was born in Asiago, Italy in 1883. He arrived in the US in 1908 and initially settled in Wilkes-Barre/Scranton where I understand many of our Pesavento ancestors lived and still do.

Hello<br>Im from Victoria, Australia. My nonna who is living with me in Australia is from the Pesavento Family in Asiago, Italy. Her maiden name is Pesavento her father was Aldo Pesavento and her mother Angelina Longhini. Her fathers father (aldo) name was Giovanni Pesavento he married a Margartia as far as I am aware of. <br>Jess.2010-04-06 22:58:41Zjkirwin118http://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.pesavento/20.4/mb.ashx Asiagohttp://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.pesavento/20.3.1.2/mb.ashx
Marco Pesavento married Antonia Pesavento<br>They had four children.<br>Giovanni, Paola, Paolo and Marco Modesto.<br>This is what you wrote. I was not aware of this but I may continue.<br>Paolo was your great grand father while Marco Modesto was mine. Marco married with Caterina Basso on 10.11.1978 and they had many childred. Giobatta went to North America in 1913. Pasquale Angelo married Maria Maddalena Genero on 10.12.1928 and went to USA in 1921. Paolo Antonio Pesavento, son of Marco Modesto and brother of both Pasquale Angelo and Giobatta was my grand father.<br>I also saw some pics in this site of Cristiano and Pasquale and what astonished me was that in a family picture of Pasquale his wife was named Lena and I guess that it is Maria Maddalena. I think I saw the pic in Valentino Pesavento web site which is related also to Matt ancestry site. <br>I would like to be contacted both by Tony and Matt just to try to better understand these family links. <br>I have drew a family tree based on my data and on the ones provided by Tony.<br>I am very happy to have met you all and thus having increased my knoeledge about the Pesavento family.<br>In my family there is only one Pesavento left who is my aunt.<br><br>Hoping to hear from you soon.

I know that there are many different branches of the name Pesavento. In the town I grew up in there were 3 different families of Pesaventos. None of the 3 were related but all came from Asiago. <br>I've never heard of any of my Pesaventos in Canada. One went to the state of New Mexico but other than her, all immigrated to Lockport, Illinois and died there. <br><br>My email address is <a href="mailto://pezzer66@comcast.net">pezzer66@comcast.net</a>, if you want to ask anymore questions or see anything I have feel free to contact me and I'll share whatever information I've got. 2010-03-26 13:17:50Ztonyteresa12http://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.pesavento/20.3.1.1.1/mb.ashxRe: : Asiagohttp://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.pesavento/20.3.1.1/mb.ashx
Hi Tony,<br>I said that there was something strange because I come from Pesavento family too, I also liaise with Comune di Asiago and they sent me the family genealogic tree. Maybe we come from two different branches. My greatgrandfather was named Marco Modesto Pesavento born in Asiago 24.5.1853 and he married (only once as far as I know)with Caterina Basso (1878-1925). They had many children, many died after a very short while. My grandfather was Paolo Antonio Pesavento.<br>My grandfather used to tell me that his brother Cristiano Pesavento went to Canada and that's why i tried to look for some US relatives some time ago. Please tell me more. Ciao2010-03-26 07:53:50Zblu3bluhttp://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.pesavento/20.3.1.1/mb.ashxRe: : Asiagohttp://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.pesavento/20.3.1/mb.ashx
Hi Antonella, <br><br>No, the letter is real and all the information is correct. What makes you think it's wrong? The area I live in has a lot of Pesavento's in it. I was easily able to verify most of the information given to me via Asiago. <br><br>My grandparents were Antonio Pesavento and Antonette Rigoni. Both were born in Asiago, Antonio in 1899 and Antonette in 1904. Antonio died in Lockport, Illinois in 1968 and Antonette in 1993. My father's name is Ronald, goes by the name Reno and was born in Lockport in 1924,2010-03-25 15:56:44Ztonyteresa12http://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.pesavento/20.3.1/mb.ashxRe: Asiago Pesaventoshttp://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.pesavento/1.2.3.4.6.8.9.21.1/mb.ashx

Hi Tony,<br><br>Very surprised to read you words about the Pesavento family. Actually there are many errors and the letter, to be honest, seems to be false.<br>Maybe I am mistaken but...could you please give me more details about your parents names and grandfather name?<br>Ciao<br>Antonella 2010-03-25 14:12:07Zblu3bluhttp://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.pesavento/20.3/mb.ashxRe: our family cresthttp://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.pesavento/86.1/mb.ashx

He came to Pennsylvania with three sons and worked at Ball Mountain cutting stone for three years to pay for his wife and six other children to come over. Later they had a house at Lake Mongola, Pa.
